I've got 2 DCS-932L's and 1 DCS-5029L. Each camera has their own account on my filezilla FTP server. The 2 932's are working great. However, the 5029 just does not want to send any image files over FTP. The connection is successful to Filezilla, I can see the connections right in the FileZilla log in real time, but images never send. What am I missing? The documentation is a little lacking. I'm on Firmware 1.14 (latest). Here are some of my settings on my 5029, called Main:LAN SETTINGSDHCP: YesEnable UPnP presentation: YesEnable UPnP port forwarding: YesForwarding Port: 1024 (default option)Forwarding Status: UPnP forwarding is active

To rule out anything with my motion settings not working, I changed my Event type to send Periodic images every 1 minute. Connections are made every minute, but no images are sent. If I change Server Type to Email, the images are emailed every minute, so it only appears to be the FTP part that's not working.

Anyone have any clue what is going on? I'm using the same settings for my 2 932's and those work just fine.

Yeah I read on another thread that this model doesn't like the lone "/" so I ended up trying all sorts of variations. It doesn't appear that FileZilla cares about which type of slash I use though, which is something I just discovered. If I use "maindump/" or "maindump\" in my DCS config, FZ cares not, it will still change directory to the same maindump folder. I've tried:"/""/maindump""/maindump/""maindump/"

And all variations behave the same way in FZ. Connections all made, but no images or no successful Tests from DCS. "Test Error"

I then blanked-out the remote folder name field entirely, same results as above.

I can tell that the motion detection is working, because MAIN will make connections to FZ sporadically. However I am seeing a difference in the FZ logs when one of my working cams connects versus this one. The other 2 working cams never enter "extended passive mode", since I have Passive Mode disabled on those 2 obviously, but MAIN does even when it's disabled:

Ok so just for fun, I reverted my 5029 back to FW 1.02. I then noticed the connection attemps to the FZ server appeared different, simply by changing the firmware. It was no longer entering Extended Passive Mode, but just regular Passive Mode. Then, after I disabled Passive mode in the DCS config, finally a success. So, in case anyone has the same issue (doubtful since I think this is the only post of its kind on the entire interwebs), roll back to a previous FW and try again. Something in 1.14 (and maybe other more recent firmwares too) forces Extended Passive Mode in FileZilla no matter what you have the setting set to. 1.02 lets me choose Passive mode or not and it actually reflects that in the FZ log.

So weird how the FTP functionality completely changes (for the worse) in the newer version(s). I may get curious and dig through some patch notes of the fw to see what they say.

Thanks for the replies, RYAT3. Cheers!

Dlink needs to investigate and fix their stuff. Maybe Furry can raise the issue.

I don't have a 5029L to test with. You might try something other than a filezilla ftp server. Maybe your router with an attached USB drive.

Well this is a bummer. So, my 5029L no longer works on MyDlink with the older 1.02 firmware. I incrementally updated to 1.14 (the latest), and it ONLY shows up in MyDlink when on 1.14. No fw prior to that will work anymore. So now I'm definitely at a crossroads. This camera has got me to my wits end. I guess I just need to choose the lesser of 2 evils; stay on 1.02 so FTP functionality continues working for motion-detected images. Or, upgrade to 1.14 so I can live-view in MyDlink, but not have the ability to send to FTP anymore. So frustrating. May just have to bite the bullet and get some Arlo's.
